With the barony's ability to create outpost with scouts, I cannot help but see a society reork in the future. At first glance it would be easy to assume Barbarian, because on of their unique traits is becoming more generalized. In fact, I highly believe this to be the most likely one to be reworked.

But with the inclusion of trade networks, I cannot help but think about Industrious. With the sheer amount of production they have, it makes it possible for a new Industrious subculture to come out and capitalize (heh) on this new market. It would probably become a powerful trading partner entirely because it floods the markets with their products, allowing a unique way to play the competitive merchant personality through industrial strength.

I haven't really thought these out much, but my gut tells me a culture rework will involve one of these two next.

As soon as I got it, I loved its stats. Giving your entire race very fast movement is already great - but following up with a debuff to enemy ranged attacks? This is incredible both offensively and defensively, all for the same price as reveler's heart.

I legitimately want to see how this performs with a melee-focused playthrough - I got it on a battlemage build!

I personally think that stormborne should have one modification to bring it in line with other tomes: a tier 5 summon, a giant serpent mythic unit that focuses on applying wet everywhere and LARGE amounts of lightning damage. Think if this like either a sea dragon or a straight-up world-serpent.

To make this work narratively... the Stormbringers as trainable units are not necessarily worshipers of the serpent only, but hunters of these serpents, who wish to embody even a small piece of this awe-inspiring power.
